We continue our series called “Back to School.” In it, we will be taking a second look at lessons we may not have read since we were kids. Our next message is “Reward & Punishment in Job.” Today we look at the story of Job and at the difficult discussions surrounding reward and punishment.
Our scripture readings comes from various sections of the Book of Job.
We continue to look at the letter and spirit of the law in our series Lens of Christ. This week we look at “Law and Punishment” as we compare the Old Testament laws on adultery to the New Testament account of Christ and the woman caught in adultery. What happens when we use the law for unrighteous reasons? What happens when we then judgement inward? We see things differently when we see things through Christ.
Our scripture readings come from Deuteronomy 22:22-24 and John 8:2-11.
